Women's Studies.It's nothing against women, its that it should fall into the area of sociology or history, rather than its own degree. Practically no use for it that I know of. If someone could explain some practical applications of Women's Studies to me, I'd be interested in knowing.

What Girls Said 3

Pretty much any arts major. Music, art, writing, underwater basket weaving... Like COULD they be profitable enough majors to pay back your student loans? Maybe. Are they likely to be? Probably not.

I have one friend who has a masters in writing and they're stuck working in a grocery store bakery. Another friend has her bachelors in vocal performance and her masters in art management or something so she could manage a theater or a group or whatever but she's stuck working in a horrible call center AND a second job in retail just to make ends meet.

Even sociology is a better major than something in the arts these days.

Teaching is very broad: you can be teaching elementary school (English would not be used directly for about 80% of your day). English and literature majors are not trained in creating content, only in analyzing and dissecting it. Neither skill is particularly useful to an author or a journalist.

I can't think of a worst or most useless college major. If I was forced to choose I would say chemistry because few of my relatives who have majored on chemistry haven't accomplished anything with it, as a result I was discouraged by mom & aunt to not study chemistry.
